Report: Jerry Jones has Johnny Manziel fever

Fox Sports is reporting that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones ‘will figure out a way to get Manziel.’

The sports network reports on its website:

According to a report by ESPNCleveland.com, CBS Sports NFL announcer Jim Nantz says he has heard that the Cowboys will do whatever it takes to bring Johnny Football to Dallas.

“I’ve heard this rumor for a month — the Cowboys will figure out a way to get Manziel,” Nantz told ESPNCleveland.com. “Wherever Manziel goes, there is going to be more clamoring about Johnny Manziel than there would be about Blake Bortles going No. 1 or (Jadeveon) Clowney going No. 1, or anyone else. This is a guy that there’s just a tremendous interest in everything he does.”

Manziel, the former Kerrville Tivy Antler, opted out of playing again for the Texas A&M Aggies after his redshirt sophomore year to enter the NFL draft.

Speculation has him going to several teams, including the Cowboys’ in-state rival Houston Texans.
